Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9857813A1] The invention concerns a hitching means for vehicles and of the type which comprises one pivotally at the buffer beam (11, 12) attached hitch (15), which is pivotable from one in the buffer (10) retracted inoperative end position to a partly outside the buffer located extended operative end position. The hitch (15) is channel-shaped, with a hitch ball arranged at a first branch end of the channel and with a pivot axle (20) at its other branch end. The pivot axle (20) is mounted essentially horizontally in two attachments (14) in the buffer beam (11, 12), so that the middle part (23) of the hitch in retracted position is located essentially vertically and in extended position essentially horizontally. A locking device (27) is arranged for locking the hitch (15) in its both end positions.
